Deafness Can't be Cured

by local applications, as they can not
reach the diseased portion Of the ear
There is only one way to cure Deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inhamed condition of the mucus lin.
ing of the Eustachain Tube. When
this tube gets infilmed. you have a
rumbing sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
Il ,mmation can DE taken out and
this tube restored TO its normal con-
d ton, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrah, which is nothing but an
irhlmed condition of the mucus sur

but in nearly all there are on or more

A few days ago the friends of
Gov. McEnery organized club of
167 for him in Shreveport There
upon specials appeared in several
of the New Orleans papers an
nouncing that the Nichols boom
had about played out in the city
of Shreveport; but the specials
announced parenthetically that the
friends of Gen. Nichols were also
"scrapping" around in the hope of
organizing a Nichols club out of
the leavings. From advices just
to hand we see that after hard work
among the ''leavings" small club
of only sol members has been or
gnnized for Nichols. Thus it will
be seen that the Nichols boom is
slowly but surely playing out-by
a species of absorption, as it were,
in which all of the voters of the
State are becoming absorbed in
the interest of Francis L. Nichols,
and, instead of being "boom," il
is getting to be regular jug han.
died affair, in which all are on
one side.

lNpIsPurAsLE FACTS.
A Few Words About the Struggle for Pre-
cedenee between stock-Ralsers.

A Few Words About the struggle Tor fre-
cedence between stock ltaisers.
Until within few years, dairying
has. over great part Of the country
been considered as a sort Of side issue.
or convenient and necessary part of
mixed farming. A few cows have been
kept to supply the family, and when the
calves were weaned or sold, the surplus
milk has been used for butter or cheese,
with the conveniences at hand. and with
what knowledge OF the business the
farmers wife happened to possess. and
this knowledge was too often composed
of whims and superannuated customs.
But at the present time, dairying is one
of the great industries OF the farming
community. Building barns. cutting
hay. buying feed, procuring ice. ar
ranging for supply Of water. imptoy-
ing pastures and selecting herds of
stock are all done with an eve to the
dairying business; and this increased
interest in the business gives the manu-
facturers Of dairymen's supplies n
chance to reap nals vest, and creates
great competition among them rs well
as among breeders of dairy stock. If
any man attempted TO believe half the
statements and testimonials that are
published to catch the eyes and the
dollars Of dairymen. he would soon land
in lunatic asylum.
Just now the greatest struggle for
precedence and patronage Is between
the breeders of dairy stock, aud II a
man can keep cool and let good judg-
ment control his own selections. theirs
is ludicrous phase to the whole affair.
1t is now pretty generally admitted
that the general-purposc COW, At her
present stage of development. is an un.
desirable piece of property almost any
where, and it will in time be learned
that no one breed of dairy cows is the
best for all places and all conditions
On a short dry pasture which extends
over wide range of hills, large. heavy,
slow-moving cows are out Of place;
while on moist farm, with certainty
OF full supply Of feed, they would be
the most profitable. Each man must
study these things with reference to
his own case, and not go crazy for
something new because it does well
somewhere else, Take advantage OF
the fact that this lively competition
gives you variety to select from. =

ABOUT SODA WATER.



How This Popular and HARMLESS SUM
mer Beverage is Produced
The drinking Of. so-called, soda
water Is becoming more and more
general. There are nearly seven thou
sand fountains in Boston alone. They
are found not only in drug stores, but
In restaurants, barrooms, confection-
cry stores. and retail merchant estab-
lishmcnts. One house in the city has
fountain which cost between five and
six thousand dollars!
All are familiar with the effervescence
and foam that attend the mixing in
water of carbonate Of soda and tartaric
acid. As the term ''soda" is applied
both TO the fountain and TO the drink
Issuing from II, one naturally supposes
that there is soda in the foaming fluid
he is taking 1t is not so, however
The water is charged with carbonic
acid, and is favored and sweetened
with some one Of the various sirups.
The carbonic acid gas is forced into
water with pressure Of one hundred
and eighty pounds to the square inch.
and II is the escape Of this gas. when
the faucet is turned and the water flows
into the tumbler, that causes the foam
ing.
The gas was formerly obtained from
carbonate Of soda, and hence the pres
ent name. which still clings to 1t; but
It is now obtained from marble. which
is a carbonate Of lime. Marble is sim
ply lime and carbonic acid chemically
combined The union is n weak one.
Sulphuric acid has much stronger
affinity for the lime than the carbonie
acid has, and upon being poured on
powdered marble, releases the carbonic
acid, which Is then absorbed by the
water. II makes no difference with
the drink whether the carbonic acid Is
obtained from soda or from marble.
since nothing but the acid passes into
the water In, and in the neighborS'
hood Of, large cities. the sellers Of soda
water do not charge their own fonn-
tains. II is done for them at large CEN
trail establishments.
The question has been put to us u
soda-water is wholesome. Almost any
calculated drink is pleasant in summer.
and 1t often meets real need OF the
system. Probably carbonated water Is
as wholesome rs any. We should adj
wise less Of the siIup than is commonly
taken. partly because il is not apt to be
pure. and partly because, even II pure,
It is not very good for the stomach.
"Plain soda is better than soda with
strip. aud. after little time, quite as
pleasant MS that. We believe that care
Is taken to have the water pure. and TO
keep the apparatus free from corrosive
matter. and when this is done, no harm
is likely to result from moderate re-
sort to the fountain. = Youth's Com
pdhion.

voRAclous MICROBES.
A Hsw-Fangied Sort Of Worm That Rats
Up Steel Rails.


The existence has just been discoy-
cred of detestable microbe which
feeds upon iron with as much gluttony
as the phyloxern upon the vine. Some
time ago the greatest CONSERVATION ex-
listed among the engineers employed
on the railway at Hagen by the acci-
dents occurring always at the same
place. proving that some terrible defect
must exist either in the material or the
construction Of the rails. The German
Government directed an inquiry 70 be
made and commission Of surveillance
TO be formed for the purpose Of main
tanning constant watch ut the spot
where the accidents--one Of them at-
tended with loss Of life--had occurred.
It was not, however, until after six
months had elapsed that the surface
Of the rails appeared TO be cor
roded. as II by acid. TO the extent
Of one hundred yards. The rail was
taken up and broken. and II was
perceived that it was literally followed
out by thin gray worm. to which the
qualification of ''railoverous" was as
signed, and by which name 1t is TO be
elassed in natural history. The worm
Is said to be two centimeters in length
and Of the size Of the prong OF silver
fork in circumference. II Is Of light
gray color, and on the head carries two
little glands filed with corrosive SCI
erection. which is elected every ten min
utes upon the iron. This liquid renders
the iron soft and spongy, and OF the
color of rust. and it is then greedily
deyoured by the insect There is no
exaggeration." says the official report
Of the commission, ''in the assertion
that this creature, for its size, is one OF
the most voracious kind. for 1t has de-
youred thirty-six kilogrammes Of rail

s1lRRlNa IHE CREAM.
An Operation Whose Proper Performance
Requires Considerable Care.

An Operation whose Proper Performance
Requires Considerable Care.
One OF the most important opera.
tons of the dairy is stirring the cream.
Simple as it appears, it is usually not
half done at that. 1t is usually stirred
with narrow paddle, a sort of pud-
ding stick, most inefficient imple-
ment. 1t has but one merit, which Is
that it may be used as knife to scrape
around the edge where the cream may
have dried little to the side Of the
vessel. II cream is thoroughly stirred
with this, the churning process will
have begun, which is exactly whar
should be avoided. The fact is, when
cream is well stirred. the surface should
not be especially agitated-c certainly
never so much as to produce bubbles.
There is a proper cream stirrer, and it
does its work so well that we have
never known its use to be given up
where once dairy folks had the article
in use. 1t Is very simply made either
of wood or timed iron. If piece OF
heavy tin is taken about as large and
of the shape Of tea saucer, and Il we'll
timed iron rod is fastened by rivetiug
and solder upon the middle of the con-
yex side, this completes the stirrer. 1t
is like tin saucer held bottom upwards
by sufficiently strong rod or wire.
In use the saucer end is brought within
few inches Of the bottom of the cream
holder and then quickly thrust down
ward again and again. Soon the cream
from the bottom viii come boiling up
on all sides. The motion is that Of
churning, but there is no churning, for
no air is agitated with the cream. and
the operation may be continued until
the most perfect mixture has taken
place. Thorough mixing Of the cream
secures perfect uniformity in ripening
and that all the butter comes at once,
SO that none is lest in the butterEilk
under ordinary circumstances. Many
prefer wooden stirrer because 1t may
be left In the cream. II Is made on the
same plan. the disk and rod both being
